I understand what people are saying about most who want a ticket should get one and claim loyalty points for themselves but I can also understand why people are panicking. The time scale and sales criteria will exclude some fans. You have some who have booked travel and have few points or are blue card members and some who are awaiting tickets before sorting travel. I can't blame people for panicking or wanting to get tickets in hand at the earliest opportunity for this one.
You have to consider some fans of few loyalty points or non seasoncard holders have travel booked and may be leaving the Uk on the Sun/Mon. They have to wait for the criteria to reach their amount of loyalty points and for those that don't live in Manchester and can't collect from the ground have to then anxiously wait for them to be posted out.
I can see a scenario where this won't sell out but fans won't be able to get ticket through the club purely due to the tight time scales involved and the selling criteria.
Finally someone with common sense,I think your right good post,add to flights going up in price and could be full by next week,it's a 50 50 chance this one
